Kleio Valentien & Ana Foxxx Co-Star in the LatestSci-Fi Epic From the Creator of DNA & SEXBOTS ​ LOS ANGELES, CA – (August 11, 2017) – Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce blockbuster creator Brad Armstrong is preparing to release Takers, a gritty two-disc mega-production starring Wicked Girl Asa Akira. Set a heartbeat in the future but infused with drama as timely as today's headlines, this three-hour epic finds the director taking aim at the deadly games played behind the scenes of a corrupt healthcare system where the gift of life goes to the highest bidder. Slated to go on sale August 23, 2017, this explosive drama's roll-out comes as Ms. Akira is making topical headlines of her own: As the Inquisitr reports (http://bit.ly/2uHFZ4w), she recently earned a place alongside Scarlett Johansson, Emma Watson, Selena Gomez and Jessica Alba in a U.K. poll on the top five "Celebrity Fantasy Robot Lovers."

While Asa has indeed portrayed an AI for Armstrong before (most notably in DNA, where she earned the 2017 XBIZ Award for Best Supporting Actress), the director's latest masterwork finds her playing someone who is all too human. For as Takers begins, the government has turned its back on society, and the healthcare and medical insurance industries are unregulated and out of control. Costs have skyrocketed and many procedures have become “black market” operations, which has led to an epidemic of organ selling…and stealing. Donor lists are now a thing of the past and patients are willing to do whatever it takes to get the life-saving organs they need.
